About London

Ancient London has been a bustling urban centre since the Bronze Age, along two major waterways: the Thames and Lea rivers. The Romans chose this location to establish their capital in 50AD—utilising it for trade routes and leisure activities like fishing or swimming. Ever since then, these powerful rivers have played an essential role in shaping our beloved city's history!

In subsequent centuries, riverbanks were lined with impressive palaces, grand docks and wharves, theatres, inns, and public gardens—all providing entertainment or relaxation opportunities for visitors from near and far. During this same period, many grand country houses were built along the banks of both rivers, providing luxurious settings for high society gatherings.

Today, the riverside venues in London continue to be popular destinations for locals and tourists alike. From boat cruises to live music events, there are plenty of ways to enjoy London’s world-famous riverfront scenery. Stroll along Southbank or ride on a Thames Clipper boat to discover some of London’s most iconic landmarks, like Tower Bridge or St Paul’s Cathedral, while taking in breathtaking views along the way. Or explore one of several Royal Parks that line arguably Britain’s most famous river. Richmond Park offers a stunning view over the Thames with hilltop trails revealing hidden gems like King Henry VIII’s former hunting lodge!

Whether you’re looking for an afternoon picnic spot or an exclusive evening event venue by night, there will surely be something perfect waiting across any of London’s majestic riverside locations.
